Dearest Tom, you certainly do have the Meerkat look down pat! (Did you see the movie "Life of Pi" too? Lots of meerkats in that one.)

What a gorgeous fellow you are, with that beautiful tabby and white fur in such a lovely design, so soft-looking I want to join cassiesmom in reaching right through the monitor to pet you! And what a sweet face you have, with your pale green eyes that have seen so much, and your cute little pink nosie, and your pretty ears with the white ear tufts. We're so sorry that your brother who came to your family with you has passed away, but we're glad all those hundreds of 'friends' who also came along are gone and you have a clean bill of health.

You are a mature gentleman now, taking life at an easier pace but still bringing your family the occasional 'treat' and delivering the odd bite if ignored. You and they all share a delightful, wonderful home full of so much love!

Congratulations, darling Tom, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your whole family are all enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games.
